H. Nakanishi et Js. Langer, A SIMPLE-MODEL FOR CRACK-PROPAGATION, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 176(1-2), 1994, pp. 317-320
A new simple model for a single mode III crack propagation with surfac
e dissipation in a two-dimensional elastic sheet is examined. The Wien
er-Hopf technique is used to obtain the stationary solutions analytica
lly for both subsonic and supersonic regions, and the crack propagatio
n velocity is determined as a function of applied distortion. Physical
implications of the solution are discussed.
